This page describes the installation of Redmine on Debian Wheezy Testing, as of 29 March 2011.It's actually a Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) virtual server.

First, the most important fact: it does not work out of the box. But it's very easy to fix thanks to Jérémy Lal. You feel hopeless and distressed, you send an email to Jérémy in the evening, and the reply from you kind Debian-maintainer with the right solution is waiting for you next morning. This is open source support for you.

The used configuration contains an Apache2 webserver, its Ruby-interface Passenger and a MySQL database.

Redmine installation will also prompt you for the MySQL admin password (I told you to remember it), then it'll create the database called redmine_default and MySQL user redmine. You can specify its password or let the installer generate a random password.
